We stock two types of aerial work platform. Choose by the height you need to reach and whether the work is straight up or up and over an obstacle.
Working height 5.9 to 13.8 m and platform capacity 100 to 450 kg. A wide, stable deck for straight-up access in warehouses, retail stores, factories and facility maintenance. Choose the Mini Self-Propelled Scissor Lift for smooth indoor floors and tight aisles, or the HS Series Crawler Scissor Lift for uneven outdoor ground.
Working height up to 20.8 m (electric) and 16.7 to 28 m (diesel), platform capacity 200 to 230 kg. The jointed boom reaches up, out and over racking, machinery, roof edges and pipework. Choose the electric articulating boom for quiet, zero-emission work, or the diesel articulated boom lift for construction sites, soft ground and slopes.
| Electric scissor lifts | Articulated boom lifts | |
|---|---|---|
| Models | Mini Self-Propelled, HS Series Crawler | Electric Articulating Boom, Diesel Articulated Boom |
| Working height | 5.9 to 13.8 m | Up to 20.8 m (electric), 16.7 to 28 m (diesel) |
| Platform capacity | 100 to 450 kg | 200 to 230 kg |
| Access | Straight up | Up, out and over obstacles |
| Power | Battery electric (lead-acid or lithium-ion) | Battery electric or diesel |
| Gradeability | Up to 30% | 25 to 40% |
| Travel speed | Up to 4 km/h | 4.2 to 6 km/h |
| Best for | Warehouses, retail, factories, indoor maintenance, outdoor fit-out on tracks | Construction, facades, roof edges, reaching over racking and machinery |
Measure the highest point you need to work on, such as light fittings, the top rack beam or the roofline. Working height is the platform height plus about 2 m for the operator, so compare models on working height and leave some margin rather than buying right at the limit.
If you can drive the machine directly under the work, a scissor lift is the simpler choice and gives more room on the deck. If racking, machinery or a roof edge is in the way, you need the outreach of an articulated boom.
Battery-electric machines suit sealed indoor floors: no exhaust, low noise, and non-marking tyres on the mini scissor lift. On gravel, soft or wet ground, choose tracks (HS Series crawler scissor lift) or a diesel boom, and check the gradeability rating against your steepest slope. For indoor jobs, see our guide to choosing an aerial work platform for indoor use.
Confirm the stowed width and height against your narrowest doorway, goods lift or aisle. If the machine will work on a mezzanine or suspended slab, check the floor loading as well.
| Typical job | Recommended platform |
|---|---|
| Stock picking, lighting and ceiling maintenance in a warehouse or store | Mini self-propelled electric scissor lift |
| Installation or maintenance on uneven outdoor ground up to 13.8 m | HS Series crawler scissor lift |
| Reaching over racking or machinery indoors | Electric articulating boom lift |
| Construction, facade or roof work up to 28 m | Diesel articulated boom lift |
A high risk work licence (class WP) is required to operate a boom-type EWP with a boom length of 11 m or more. Scissor lifts, vertical lifts and boom lifts under 11 m do not need a high risk work licence, but operators must be trained and competent, and most sites ask for an EWPA Yellow Card for the machine class (SL for scissor lifts, BL for boom lifts under 11 m). Requirements can differ by state and by site, so check with your regulator and principal contractor.
The Australian design standard for mobile elevating work platforms is AS/NZS 1418.10. Owners are responsible for safe use and inspection under AS 2550.10, which covers daily pre-start checks, periodic inspections at intervals based on how hard the machine works, and a major inspection at 10 years of service. Our service teams in Dandenong, Smeaton Grange and Meadowbrook can schedule periodic inspections for you.
For state guidance, see WorkSafe Victoria's elevating work platforms page.
